Chambery Airport is one of many French regional airports which is available to private jet charter flights, it has some runway limitations due to its position and the mountains that surround the airport, which does limit some types of larger private jets.

CHAMBERY AIRPORT HISTORY

The first airport built on-site was inaugurated in 1934 as a joint military and civilian facility. In 1950, the idea of developing the airport of Bourget-du-Lac was launched to attract visitors to the local ski resorts. However it wasn’t until 1960 that it began its commercial activity under the name of Chambéry-Aix-les-Bains.
From 1964 to July 1, 2004, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Savoie handled the airport’s operations before awarding the contract for its management and development to a privately owned joint venture held by Keolis and Vinci Airports.
Under the management of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Savoie, the airport and its facilities were gradually renovated, particularly in 1990 just before the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville.
The construction of a new terminal dedicated to private flights in 2006 has contributed to the significant increase in air traffic, with over 30,000 annual private aircraft movements now recorded at Chambéry Airport.

Chambery Town

Located at the junction of two major Alpine valleys, the chateau town of Chambéry is an unjustly neglected gem. 12 km south of twinkling Lac du Bourget, it’s within easy reach of two regional parks and preserves many signs of former glory (Chambery was Savoy’s capital from the 13th century until 1563, when the Dukes relocated to Turin). Its surprisingly few visitors are rewarded with crowd-free museums, lively cafes and serene strolls along old streets. In the winter season Chambery becomes the main private aviation airport in France. Hundreds of ski lovers take advantage of  helicopter transfers to ski resorts like Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens, or Tignes and Val d’Isère, from the Chambéry private airfield. The helicopter transfers take just a few minutes, where as by car you would spend a few hours in traffic, especially during school holidays.
